Weird. I was just having a similar discussion with my colleagues regarding coding style. Anyways, I absolutely view text (code more than prose; but poesy definitely has this!) to be 2D. There is both per-line and interline structure that good formatting surfaces; it simplifies long range reasoning about invariants.

I mean... the whole field of typographic ad copy is about 2D writing?
